Nice comeback, but a frustrating game we did not really deserve anything from.

I know it is easy to pine for whoever is not playing when things are going badly, and I usually don't like to whinge, but I genuinely felt we established during the Plymouth game that CMS in the middle with Williams, Harriman etc. on the pitch was our best option, and here we are, back to hoofing balls up to an overmatched Bayo - who I believe has still played well this season, but has excelled much more as a late battering ram. Gone are the neat little interchanges that gave fits to Plymouth, Bradford and Charlton (for a while).

I was whining about this to my wife all game, on come CMS and Williams, and we are back to 2-3 by the end.

Turner just won everything for them aerially until the last 10 minutes. A stunner from CMS gave us hope and rocked them but we got tactically outdone in a comprehensive fashion until the late response which at least salvaged some pride.

I'm normally as positive as they come but for 80 minutes that was abysmal. Either bad GA tactics or bad execution but we didn't use any of the fast skilful players to run at their defence in the way they caused us problems.

Defending a joke for first two goals. Third looked way offside, if it wasn't then also really poor.

I agree @Shev .. I wonder if CMS is wondering what he has done to be relegated to the Bench, as in my opinion he shouldn't have been, also, just my opinion again, but I'd have Harriman playing as well... who'd be a manger eh ?!?!

It doesn't take a genius to see that 433, bypassing the midfield and lumping it up to Bayo Is. Not. Working. For. Us. It hasn't all season. Gaz has many strong attributes as manager but his stubboness in sticking to tactics, formations and personnel that are not delivering results is, in my opinion, a major weakness. We've played plenty of teams who were our equals in League Two not long ago but have adapted to life in the division above and look so much more likely than us to stay up. And yes I'd include Plymouth in this, along with Southend, Blackpool, Bristol Rovers, Luton and Oxford. We haven't beaten any of them. The club are telling us we have to adapt off the pitch or face some terrible consequences. As far as I can see it's a lesson we need to learn on the pitch as well.

That 2nd half today was very worrying. 1st half was a decent game, very open, good chances for both sides, Southend probably just about edging it. We looked good going forwards, but poor defensively. 2nd half was just dreadful in every department, until that stunning CMS goal suddenly gave us some belated fight.

Just listening to GA's interview, he did at least seem very aware of how poor that 2nd half was, admitting that the late goals were just papering over cracks.

Not pretty today. Extremely flat both on and off the pitch for 75 minutes.

It’s a tough job for GA but if he is sticking with 433 then I can’t see it working with Fred and Kashket as they don’t offer the same defensive cover CMS and Williams give.

Defensively we struggled today, I saw Stewart before the game in a warm up kit so fingers crossed he’s not far off being fit. For me Harriman should be starting every game so push Macca into the middle with Sido.

@fromtheside , after today, I think Sido might be the one who is taken out for the McCarthy move.
Harriman is definitely unlucky to be out of things at the moment.

Williams was ill this last week apparently, so that clears up that he wasn't prevented from playing cup games that someone suggested (I can't even remember if he was around/played in the earlier games to be fair)

Williams - 2 from Bayo/CMS/Paris seems a good bet to me.
Haven't seen anything from Fred yet, but those at Portsmouth probably did.

Pretty disgraceful performance, the scoreline flattered us. As with all the home games so far, golden opportunities that we should be aiming for 3 points from, against similar opposition.

Was going to Fleetwood, not now, would have cost me nearly £100 with fuel, hotel, ticket etc and I don't earn enough to squander that amount on a team that only started playing about 10 minutes from time.

9 goals in 3 games with the current centre back pairing. All this while our best centre back plays right back and our best right back warms the bench. We got ripped apart time after time today.
I only wish someone had given me a pound every time a Wycombe player hooked the ball back over their heads to no one.
Never understood why people desert this team before the end. I just wonder f we should go three goals down sooner so we get more time to come back.
